Total height: 53cm Base: 13cm x 46.5cm Weight: 16 Kg Friedrich Richard Roland Paris (March 18, 1894 in Vienna, Austria-Hungary - May 4, 1945 in Swinemünde, Germany) was a German caricaturist, writer of satirical verse, graphic designer, painter and Art Deco sculptor. Roland Paris attended the Grand-Ducal Realgymnasium in Weimar from 1905. From 1909, he was a student at the Saxon Grand-Ducal School of Applied Arts in Weimar. Here, in 1912, he received second and third prizes as well as 25 points in a competition for the design of emblems for student associations, which he continued to produce for two or three years. Some of these works showed the influence of Art Nouveau, others included more modern approaches. In 1912, Paris took a course in sculpture at the Saxon Grand-Ducal School of Art in Weimar with the sculptor Gottlieb Elster. He then went to Munich, where he completed internships with several sculptors. In 1913, he returned to the school of Fine arts in Weimar and studied painting with Walther Klemm. In June 1915 he received his call up order for the Eastern Front of World War I and served first in a commando unit and then in the Air Force Inspectorate (IdFlieg) . After his return in 1919, he settled in Berlin. In 1924 he married Elisabeth Lisl Austen (b. 1897), a dancer at the Théâtre des Westens who modeled most of his female characters; he depicted himself for the facial parts of his male characters. The marriage remained childless.

In the soft glow of a dimly lit room, there stands a pair of French statuettes from the enchanting 1800s, a testament to a bygone era of elegance and opulence. These remarkable works of art, fashioned from lustrous bronze, exude an air of timeless grandeur that beckons you to step closer and marvel at their exquisite craftsmanship. Each statuette is a masterpiece in its own right, a testament to the skill and dedication of the master sculptor who brought them into existence. The attention to detail is nothing short of astonishing, with every sinew of the majestic lions' bodies meticulously chiseled and lovingly rendered. The craftsmanship is so fine that one cannot help but be captivated by the lifelike expressions and powerful stances of these regal creatures. These two lions, poised in a position of imposing authority, emanate an aura of strength and royalty that transcends time and space. Their heads held high, their fierce eyes gazing into the distance, they embody the very essence of majesty and dominance. Their finely chiseled manes cascade down their muscular necks, a testament to their untamed, wild nature. But it is not just their form that captivates the beholder; it is the material itself that adds to their allure. Cast entirely in bronze, these lions bear traces of antiquity beneath their paws, a subtle reminder of the centuries that have passed since their creation. The patina of age only enhances their mystique, as if they have borne witness to a thousand stories, silently guarding the secrets of the past. In symbolism, lions are revered as symbols of strength and royalty, and these statuettes do justice to that legacy. They are more than mere sculptures...
